Country Focus Report 2022 - Supporting Climate Resilience and a Just Energy Transition in Nigeria

Nigeria suffers from multiple climate change effects with multiple economic and social consequences. In particular, the country’s energy poverty and rising food insecurity has hampered the country to adequately manage climate related shocks. Thus, for a country dependent on traditional agriculture and natural resource extraction, adaptation to climate change is key in its efforts towards the achievement of sustainable and inclusive development and transition to net zero.
